tan space 30 to the power of degree space equals space BC over AB rightwards double arrow space space fraction numerator 1 over denominator square root of 3 end fraction equals straight x over 8 rightwards double arrow space space space straight x space equals space fraction numerator 8 over denominator square root of 3 end fraction equals fraction numerator 8 square root of 3 over denominator 3 end fraction and space cos space 30 to the power of degree space equals space AB over AC rightwards double arrow space space fraction numerator square root of 3 over denominator 2 end fraction space equals space 8 over AC rightwards double arrow space space space AC space space equals space fraction numerator 16 over denominator square root of 3 end fraction

rightwards double arrow space space space space straight y space space space equals space fraction numerator 16 over denominator square root of 3 end fraction equals fraction numerator 16 square root of 3 over denominator 3 end fraction

Now height of the tree

equals space left parenthesis straight x space plus space straight y right parenthesis space space metres equals open square brackets fraction numerator 8 square root of 3 over denominator 3 end fraction plus fraction numerator 16 square root of 3 over denominator 3 end fraction close square brackets space metres equals space fraction numerator 24 square root of 3 over denominator 3 end fraction space metres equals 8 square root of 3 space metres
